• 1:35
  it's all about writing. Yeah, man.
• 1:38
  Sounds like, it sounds like it. I guess we gotta do like a recap

  or something, because it's been several weeks and became a
• 1:47
  ketchup bottles. Let's not even think we get
• 1:50
  MotoGP World Superbike. Yeah man.
• 1:55
  So, you know, just overall how are things with you before we
• 1:57

• 2:09
  about, just trying to find things to do to stay active, so
• 2:14
  just trying to stay busy. Got you, got you?
• 2:17
  So the last time we did a show, I think we just gotta cut.
• 2:20
  You got one race under your belt.
• 2:22
  I had a couple under my belt Belt and we've been racing again
• 2:27
  and training as well. So, you know, unfortunately we
• 2:31
  can't be, you know, two places at once.
• 2:33
  So, you know, the this show took a little hit because we can't
• 2:38
  be, we can get together. So I'll let you talk first and
• 2:42
  talk about what's been going on. We'll probably start from the
• 2:46
  second round of Loudon and and how that went and how's the, you
• 2:51
  know, the road to the You know, the Classic 100 or 100 classic
• 2:58
  loud, know, whatever they want to call it whatever they call
• 3:00
  it. I'm pretty sure I'm jacking that
• 3:01
  up. You know what is like, what's
• 3:04
  going on at Loudon? Because I haven't been there yet
• 3:06
  for the season. You know what?
• 3:09
  How's that going? As far as I can see Laden is, is
• 3:13
  doing really well. I mean, there's a lot of people
• 3:16
  trying to promote the classic and, right?
• 3:19
  It's just people showing up this round to that.
• 3:22
  I just just attended you right there.
• 3:24
  I'm talking about. So yeah.
• 3:25
  So there's a lot of a lot of good Riders there.
• 3:27
  You know. T Cobbs his teammate is well
• 3:33
  they showed up yeah they all sold out 64.
• 3:39
  Hua Shan are bone pain, showed up Josh Hayes.
• 3:46
  Okay. Okay, okay.
• 3:50
  But Tyler Scott, Tyler, Scott, yes, sorry.
• 3:52
  Can't do anything right away. Vitalis car was there.
• 3:56
  He actually did really well. Yeah I think he put in a million
• 4:00
  12 looking first time on the track.
• 4:03
  I'm assuming that's his first time out there.
• 4:04
  Yeah I saw some I saw some clips and yeah you got a shot over
• 4:09
  going down the bowl. Yeah, I'd ways.
• 4:11
  Yeah. I'm like dude you look like
• 4:15
  you're pointing to turn to? Yeah.
• 4:19
  So I mean it's gonna be crazy but turn around to was really,
• 4:23
  really good. And the weather was nice.
• 4:26
  I'm stayed unfortunately on Saturday.
• 4:29
  Okay. And it's and you watch the dash
• 4:32
  for cash on Saturday. So yeah.
• 4:33
  What was that like and before I even even you know, the dash for
• 4:37
  cash. What you know, you know we know
• 4:39
  some of the riders that are racing in that.
• 4:40
  So like what's the atmosphere like you know, you know?
• 4:44
  Is it is it is there a lot of chat about you know the classic
• 4:50
  or is it just business as usual for the local Riders?
• 4:53
  What's that? Like well this Dash was was a
• 4:57
  really big grid. It was about 35 bikes which is
• 5:02
  for this size track. I think it's a good amount for
• 5:04
  one wave. A modern I you know, I think we
• 5:07
  talked about this, the last episode.
• 5:09
  I mean, I think, you know, after a certain amount of, you know, I
• 5:13
  live saith area and we don't know if we got into a number
• 5:15
  from last round, but, you know, I think over, you know, 28
• 5:19
  bikes, you know, especially at Loudon.
• 5:23
  It was interesting to see. See.
• 5:24
  I mean, everybody made it through a beautiful thing, the
• 5:27
  labs were completed, okay. But it was really good to see
• 5:31
  like, especially, you know, me starting in 2020 and trying to
• 5:36
  get to know everybody just watching all the fast guys that
• 5:39
  are there, right? You know, just just counting off
• 5:41
  all the names that are going by, you know, I'm just getting to
• 5:44
  like almost 20 riders that I know, and I'm just like, wow,
• 5:47
  this feels pretty stacked, right?
• 5:49
  And knowing that the class is coming up, I just can't wait to
• 5:52
  see it, but it was a very interesting.
• 5:54
  Then race. You know, a lot has happened
• 5:56
  since since around to for me, but if I can remember thinking
• 6:00
  Eli was like winning the whole race, pretty much.
• 6:04
  And Shane are bone was following him and they end up passing him.
• 6:10
  And then Tyler Sweeney who won the first round Dash, and
• 6:15
  they're passing Eli and be like him in third.
• 6:19
  And, you know, it's kind of the usuals who are basically 1
• 6:22
  through 8 1, through 9, You get to like it and beam and Victor
• 6:28
  said, think, and and then, yeah, so it's it's good to see and,
• 6:35
  you know, to explain like you like I was saying, I know he's
• 6:38
  been on the show before but those two riders that were in
• 6:40
  front of him, who passed and was guys, have you look up to so,
• 6:43
  you know, it's good for him to get that experience to, but it
• 6:46
  was, it was overall fun race to watch after flying.
• 6:50
  And how did you do that of that round as well?
• 6:54
  Pulled off for third place and heavyweight.
• 6:58
  Super Sport for the amateurs and came in sixth place.
• 7:02
  For my middleweight Grand Prix, Luca, which is the race 14,
• 7:08
  right? And and it was, you know what
• 7:10
  it's like in the paddock and stuff like that.
• 7:12
  You know, you know, the, you know, folks are there.
• 7:17
  Writers that haven't been at Loudon for a little bit.
• 7:19
  That may not be National riders that are there as well, or is
• 7:22
  it. Patrick is always been friendly
• 7:25
  especially first day that I started.
• 7:28
  You know if they don't if you're not a familiar face they're
• 7:30
  going to make you a familiar face.
• 7:32
  So everyone's going to try to get to know you see what you're
• 7:34
  about, where you're from, what you ride in, what they can do to
• 7:38
  help. And especially the class is
• 7:41
  coming up, things, get more organized.
• 7:42
  So, as I mentioned before, they got Rider directional.
• 7:47
  Now, I'm not quite sure what that means.
• 7:50
  But so basically when you get on and off track, you can't Go
• 7:54
  which way you want? It's a, I got you got you got
• 7:57
  you there sort of change the change?
• 7:59
  The layout a little bit? Yeah, you know from how it
• 8:03
  normally is they said they were going to try it out until the
• 8:07
  classic is over and then evaluate it but I actually kind
• 8:10
  of like it just it just feels more organized because I know
• 8:14
  before getting on the track you always had to look which way to
• 8:16
  see if it bites. Don't fly in from a blast by
• 8:18
  just to get on the track right? If you know what I mean by the
• 8:21
  media center but yeah. It's It's a good little change
• 8:25
  and we're just trying to get everyone set up and promote.
• 8:29
  I guess got you and Colette. Yeah, I assume you're doing that
• 8:33
  as well. And you say, boys promote in so
• 8:35
  I guess we all as a rider, get six tickets that we can get for
• 8:40
  the pit pass. Oh I know.
• 8:42
  So if you sign up for a race? Yeah.
• 8:44
  Well so you have to pre-register.
• 8:45
  Yeah, it's like a six. So it's $25 otherwise, it's 40.
• 8:49
  Okay for what I've been watching and listening to other guys talk
• 8:53
  about it. Um, but I know on Saturday, we
• 8:56
  can't go on to the track because it's only for the team.
• 8:59
  So like you can't get a pit. You can't go on the pit.
• 9:03
  You can't. Right?
• 9:04
  Right you. So you can't do you can be like
• 9:06
  armpit out. Yeah, on Saturday all day
• 9:10
  Saturday or just for the dash just for the dash first, the
• 9:14
  most part, as far as I know and then turn one has like a VIP
• 9:17
  section. You need special tickets to get
• 9:19
  to the turn one. There's going to be more
• 9:20
  bleachers there. I use the word.
• 9:22
  Yeah. But other than that, I guess,
• 9:24
  That's regular Riders. We have access to walk around
• 9:26
  like we normally do. So can't go turn one and the
• 9:30
  main straight like on watching the straight away you know?
• 9:32
  Oh really yeah. Wow team so program their pit
• 9:36
  Boards out there stuff. Okay?
• 9:37
  Yeah that makes sense. Then that makes sense but yeah
• 9:40
  because turn one you could just walk up to so now that's going
• 9:43
  to just VIP huh? Yeah you know she probably watch
• 9:46
  it from the bleacher side but maybe the infield side a they
• 9:51
  have it. I said I guess you got to get a
• 9:54
  And for that. Right?
• 9:55
  Right. Well, that makes sense.
• 9:56
  That makes sense. I mean, you know, it is what it
• 9:57
  is. I mean, I've, you know, it is
• 10:00
  what it is, you know, if you go to a club, it is viewed.
• 10:02
  As a VIP section is what it is. The you know, if you go to
• 10:05
  MotoGP, I haven't been to a world superbike well modal
• 10:09
  Mercury so I can't even tell I don't know what that's like but
• 10:12
  you know, there's a VIP section. So yeah.
• 10:15
  I mean I do you know turn one is a good place to watch a race so
• 10:18
  it makes sense. All right say it's a VIP section
• 10:20
  at. They just got to get a Stop it.
• 10:25
  I don't know what what they call, but it's you have to buy
• 10:27
  another ticket for right? Right, right.
• 10:29
  So yeah, yeah. It's if it yeah.
• 10:30
  Your regular tick is not going to get you a tighter.
• 10:32
  One seat, some got you, right? Exactly.
• 10:35
  So yes, that's interesting. Okay, all right, all right,
• 10:39
  that's good. That's good to know.
• 10:41
  So, And it seems like there's going to be a lot of vendors and
• 10:46
  it seems like it's going to Big every a big to do and it's crazy
• 10:49
  because of classic weekend to. So they have the entrance.
• 10:51
  They don't have all the stuff that it did have obviously a
• 10:56
  yeah and it's probably gonna be Amplified a little bit more
• 10:58
  because you know, of the of, you know, the purse right, you know.
• 11:03
  So there's going to be bigger people because they know more
• 11:06
  people are going to be coming out and you know which the cool
• 11:09
  thing I would say is this, you know And I don't, and I'm not
• 11:13
  calling anyone out when I say this.
• 11:17
  But, you know, this is one of the first years where, you know,
• 11:21
  we have their red regular folks that normally will, you know,
• 11:26
  post and talk about, you know, well, when it was llars, you
• 11:30
  know, they do that and then shout out to Leroy.
• 11:33
  Shout out to Heinz. Heinz was what was that talk Tom
• 11:37
  Hines, you know, You know, these are guys that they just have
• 11:41
  fun, you know, busting each other's balls and and they make
• 11:45
  a good time of the classic and make beside beds and stuff like
• 11:47
  that. I haven't, I haven't checked it
• 11:49
  out yet, but I heard they got a list.
• 11:50
  No, but, you know this, but this year is a is this folks that
• 11:55
  wouldn't normally participate in social media as far as promoting
• 12:01
  the classic as you were saying. You know there's a lot of riders
• 12:04
  that wouldn't do that to me in the past.
• 12:06
  I mean I'm not I'm not I don't talk to a lot of People.
• 12:09
  But from what I can tell from social media in the past that
• 12:12
  you know they weren't promoting the classic the year before or
• 12:15
  the year before. But this year, a lot of riders
• 12:19
  that are now that are that are I guess buying in.
• 12:22
  I don't know what it is but it's cool to see because obviously
• 12:24
  the more people that are talking about it the better it is.
• 12:27
  So there's a good thing. So I definitely see more Riders
• 12:31
  promoting the classic than that I've seen in probably classic
• 12:34
  are years. Yeah.
• 12:36
  I mean it's Be a lot of, right? I mean, if you pay attention to
• 12:41
  all motorcycles racing, there's a lot of riders that are
• 12:46
  professionals that are trying to attend.
• 12:48
  So it's good to promote this to get more people to watch and
• 12:52
  some good Racing's. But I'm interested to see all
• 12:55
  these Riders. Know not to be like, Starstruck
• 12:59
  anything but watch them on TV all the time you can't be
• 13:01
  stopped structured. Well, no no, I am not Starstruck
• 13:04
  but like, you know, just be like, oh, there you go.
• 13:06
  It's not. You know, finally seemed like
• 13:07
  Marc Marquez is something like That, you know, yeah, I mean it
• 13:13
  is nice to see and and you really can appreciate it.
• 13:17
  And I mean, I don't know what it's going to be like, so, you
• 13:19
  know, who knows? Right.
• 13:20
  But it's definitely, you know, when you get out and you see
• 13:24
  skillful people, regardless of whatever sport or thing they're
• 13:28
  doing doing the best, and I highest level and, you know,
• 13:32
  motor America, you know, yet motor America Riders.
• 13:34
  You got Club writers in a lot of clubs but you know, you got some
• 13:37
  top riders that, you know, are in All these clubs.
• 13:40
  So you know to have this obviously is the cash test make
• 13:47
  anybody come right? But to have this draw, it have
• 13:50
  all these riders that wouldn't normally come to loud and come
• 13:54
  to Loudon and and try to see if they can compete and and and and
• 13:59
  knock the fast, local guys off. And the crazy part is, it's not
• 14:04
  crazy but you know the local guys are very fast.
• 14:08
  How are ya? So, you know it's not, you know,
• 14:11
  you got these Pro guys that are really fast and they probably
• 14:14
  fast everywhere but now they're going to be competing with guys.
• 14:18
  You know that Krypton Tristan crevice.
• 14:22
  Exactly exactly. And I'll Monday morning they go
• 14:25
  do a different job, right? So but no, I think it's cool.
• 14:29
  It's just like, you know, save you play basketball and you
• 14:33
  shooting around, you got a chance to play with some
• 14:35
  professional basketball players on a pickup game you know?
• 14:39
  Good to be around not that you want to be Starstruck but, you
• 14:41
  know, it's in your alley. So like to to be racing not
• 14:46
  knowing that I was gonna be racing and always watching these
• 14:48
  guys on TV and film to come up here.
• 14:51
  This it's going to be like a good moment to see.
• 14:52
  That's all. Yeah, that's what's up.
• 14:55
  We're about, didn't have to really try hard to, you know, to
• 14:59
  go wash them. You know, sometimes you got to
• 15:01
  go fly out to go, see, no matter race, but it kind of looks like
• 15:03
  a little country. Sometimes, yeah, you know, so
• 15:06
  feel kind of privileged and Can't wait.
• 15:10
  Nice, nice. That's what's up.
• 15:12
  So, we got a couple of weeks before the Loudoun folks loud
• 15:15
  and classic. So, if you haven't already, got
• 15:19
  your ticket. If you haven't gotten your VIP
• 15:20
  spot. If you haven't gotten your
• 15:21
  camping spot, or if you haven't figured out, who's rolling with,
• 15:25
  you know, figure it out, because it's just around the corner.
• 15:30
  And, you know, I've been fortunate enough now to have
• 15:34
  been going to the classic since 2015 and I'm looking forward to
• 15:40
  this one. This is probably going to be the
• 15:42
  biggest one. It's a century celebration but
• 15:46
  also the purse just brings out. It is seems to be bringing out
• 15:51
  the best for some of the best writers in the US and you know,
• 15:55
  maybe Canada, and other parts. So I'm definitely looking
• 15:58
  forward to it II know. I assume you're racing.
• 16:02
  So you're not just gonna be a spectator so Saturday.
• 16:05
  I think it's just that of a, I'll be well, I'm sorry.
• 16:08
  Sorry. And Sunday.
• 16:10
  We you say Saturday is just that event.
• 16:12
  There's other events going on, but you just not racing.
• 16:15
  Yeah. So there's nothing race is going
• 16:17
  on. Yes.
• 16:17
  But you're not entering in that rate based on the schedule, your
• 16:20
  racing Friday and Sunday, or thank for the Neymar, Neymar
• 16:26
  Riders. I think it's just Friday and
• 16:28
  Sunday. Okay.
• 16:29
  And then Saturday's just for the classic and they have a couple
• 16:32
  other races after before I think the classic.
• 16:35
  Really. Yeah.
• 16:36
  So I got look at the schedule then it's not like I'm not Sure.
• 16:39
  I don't think it's any of my writers.
• 16:41
  I think it's just specifically for the classic date.
• 16:45
  Okay, I got to look at that. Yeah, Thursday is racing
• 16:49
  practice, right? Yeah, but very surprised.
• 16:51
  The spring school Friday. Yeah.
• 16:53
  Because it's three days. Usually, I think this is gonna
• 16:55
  be really tight. I did watch a video on 388, you
• 16:59
  know, they went over everything so shouting mother.
• 17:02
  But I think what if you're doing the penguin school and that only
• 17:08
  you can come Wednesday and have to leave by Thursday.
• 17:12
  I guess I got you but you're racing race.
• 17:15
  And you can't show up until Thursday, okay.
• 17:17
  So I don't think you can show up Wednesday, right?
• 17:19
  If you're racing Friday, I guess it's going to be so crazy
• 17:24
  because the vendors that always show up for the classic anyway
• 17:28
  and yeah, it's going to be. Yeah, I assume it's gonna be
• 17:32
  nuts because it's the first and it's it's the first everyone
• 17:36
  wants their spot to so right, right, right, right right,
• 17:38
  right. So so yeah so definitely I'm
• 17:42
  hoping to race. So I got to look at the
• 17:43
  schedule. So you know That hear you say
• 17:45
  that as I said, okay. So I got to figure out what,
• 17:47
  what days I can raise. And, and, and yeah, because, you
• 17:54
  know, I can't, I'm not one of those people that can go to a
• 17:56
  racetrack. Oh, well, I used to, I've
• 17:59
  watched some MotoGP races but I've since now, like it's hard
• 18:03
  to just go watch and not race like I, you know, I prefer to be
• 18:08
  on the track. So I got look at the schedule
• 18:10
  and see what's available. I hope is because it'll pass
• 18:15
  Past there was a good, there was still races that you could do on
• 18:17
  Saturday. So I, you know, I remember that

• 18:52
  You can still just get a ticket at the gate and I heard children
• 18:54

• 18:56
  Okay, that's what's up. So you know, I know my niece and
• 18:59
  nephews like to show up so they will be in and if you are
• 19:04
  erasing, check the schedule. Awesome.
• 19:08
  I'm looking forward to it. I can't wait.
• 19:10
  So that's you know, we talked about the second round at Loudon
• 19:14
  and you know since then, you know you have been taking your
• 19:19
  bike across the state line. Oh yes.
• 19:21
  I mean they lines guess I had some goals that I had this year.
• 19:26
  Finally accomplish some things to shout out to my boy Nick.
• 19:31
  But yeah. So I didn't stay on Sunday and
• 19:34
  everyone's like, where are you going?
• 19:35
  Like why are you leaving? So early, like the weather's
• 19:38
  good. Like it's not raining.
• 19:39
  Like what? Round one mind your business.
• 19:42
  Yeah, I'm going to a Ducati event I gotta go.
• 19:45
  That's what's up? I got invited to Josh.
• 19:48
  Herons warhorse Ducati event at Poconos.
• 19:52
  I'm not sure how many times they've done this, but I missed
• 19:56
  the one last year and they do it one time of year.
• 20:00
  So I was able to get to this one.
• 20:01
  It was on a Monday. So okay.
• 20:04
  I left loud and Sunday morning or afternoon and drove to my
• 20:08
  friends house in New York and then we packed up together and
• 20:11
  drove to Pennsylvania. Poconos nice.
• 20:13
  Now, you know, what's that? Like, right?
• 20:16
  I mean, you know, we've we live in, we live in mass and we drive
• 20:21
  to Loudon, which is in New Hampshire and it's about an hour
• 20:25
  and a half. So it's a little bit of a drive
• 20:28
  and it's one of those for me is one of those Drive where, you
• 20:32
  know, you're excited. Ed, you know, you're putting
• 20:36
  whatever crap you have that, you should have done already done or
• 20:41
  whatever Back and You're going to you know I want an hour and a
• 20:44
  half maybe you know, depending on traffic and and that's it.
• 20:48
  But now you're driving now. What, how many hours did it take
• 20:52
  you to get there? Well from Loudoun to our friends
• 20:56
  house. It was about 2 hours and 45
• 20:58
  minutes. That's not too bad and then and
• 21:00
  then to the PACE house to with We didn't take the camper
• 21:05
  anything. So we just took a trailer.
• 21:07
  It took about three hours. Okay.
• 21:09
  So the Poconos. Yeah.
• 21:10
  And the Poconos are in Pennsylvania.
• 21:12
  Yeah. Okay.
• 21:13
  But northern northeast Pennsylvania.
• 21:16
  It's like yeah, Northeast, okay. So I think Philly was our South
• 21:21
  okay. That's not that's not, that's
• 21:23
  not too bad. So give or take between going
• 21:26
  in. It's almost like five and a half
• 21:28
  six hours if you were to drive straight.
• 21:31
  Yeah, loud. So what's that like you know
• 21:35
  this is your that was my first tractor being on besides three
• 21:41
  years it straight out loud and you know and I was looking
• 21:44
  forward to every bit of it and I didn't know what to expect when
• 21:48
  I got there because it's a Ducati event.
• 21:51
  Every bike starting up sound like a airplane or souped-up
• 21:55
  car, you know, cautis rattling and their exhaust coming out the
• 22:02
  side pipes and It's crazy, but it was fun.
• 22:06
  There's a couple of. Was it overwhelming or?
• 22:08
  No. No.
• 22:09
  Not at all. You know?
• 22:10
  Did you did you did like what you nervous where you, you know,
• 22:14
  it's your first time of the new track obviously, but you've been
• 22:16
  riding for with close to 10 years.
• 22:18
  So it's not like, you're a new writer, I wasn't nervous at all.
• 22:22
  I mean, I was, I was, I would say excited nervous.
• 22:25
  Hmm. Because I could wait to see what
• 22:27
  the layout was because I didn't get a track map, so okay.
• 22:33
  When we had our Riders meeting, they mentioned to come see me if
• 22:38
  you want to get the track layout and you know, mmm, I had a
• 22:41
  couple had a friend there that been there before so I'm like
• 22:44
  he's my track map pretty much. I'm not kissing this guy.
• 22:49
  Yeah yeah. Either Petco Park has follow
• 22:53
  around the track. There's a few of them evolving
• 22:57
  now he doesn't fall Alex frenzy, it's easy.
• 22:59
  It seems the like pecola wanted to pull you guys.
• 23:03
  You Exactly, you know lays he's not following Jack mother kozjak
• 23:08
  Millions not having it, you know.
• 23:11
  So which is so cool. So you know, you didn't now for
• 23:17
  a lot of people at you say this nonchalantly and I'm not picking
• 23:20
  on you when I say this, right? Be, it's like, I'm just going to
• 23:23
  follow somebody around a track, but for a lot of people going to
• 23:27
  a new track for the first time, it's like skydiving.
• 23:33
  You know what I mean? In and and it myself included.
• 23:35
  Because trust me, when I, when I started on a new tracks and 20
• 23:38
  21, I was I didn't know what to expect.
• 23:40
  So I was a little bit terrified but you were pretty comfortable.
• 23:45
  And so, you know, we can talk about a little bit later.
• 23:48
  But at the, you know, did that process of saying you are
• 23:53
  comfortable by the end of the time, did you really?
• 23:55
  Did you go? Oh yeah I'm still comfortable or
• 23:58
  was like oh there's some things that happen that you know, I
• 24:01
  didn't even think what happened. No, I mean I had a really
• 24:06
  sketchy moment that, you know, that was my fault throughout the
• 24:10
  sessions but this track was pretty flat.
• 24:14
  There was a couple up and down like not not not a lot of
• 24:17
  elevations like loud and stuff like that.
• 24:20
  So now that I've been to a third track, we will get to in a
• 24:24
  little bit. I can say that this track is not
• 24:28
  demanding at all and demanded like in what way when you say
• 24:33
  Man, didn't like they looking for money or like, you don't get
• 24:38
  like an oh shit, moment, right? Like loud in his wallet Turn 3,
• 24:44
  or you going down the bowl and it's just a fence right there.
• 24:48
  Turn one. Yeah, I turned one like, you
• 24:50
  know, turn to, I guess I'm all out of old moments, you know?
• 24:56
  If you know what you're doing at this track, you can just get a
• 24:59
  good flow. I mean, I just good practice
• 25:02
  track. I mean granted the like when we
• 25:04
  had our meeting there were there was a good amount of people
• 25:06
  there and the people that raised their hands for what group they
• 25:09
  think they should be in. Hmm, they split it up instead of
• 25:12
  three groups and just the to, okay.
• 25:14
  So allowed us to get 30 minutes on the track. 47 sessions.
• 25:18
  That's okay. All right.
• 25:20
  I didn't realize how good that was.
• 25:22
  Like literally I will go on for 15 minutes straight and and I
• 25:26
  wouldn't even go to The Paddock. I'll just sit next to the guy
• 25:30
  that tells you to go on a track and a way to go back out to
• 25:33
  three minutes and just go back out for like two or three laps
• 25:35
  and I'll come off and then Nick would be like, hey, like this go
• 25:38
  on for another minute, you know, to and then we'll jump back on
• 25:42
  42 laps and session be over. Wait a half an hour and get back
• 25:45
  on right now. And are you because this was a
• 25:50
  Ducati day and you're not riding a Ducati.
• 25:55
  So you're practicing. and, you know, did Seven sessions.
• 26:02
  Yeah, seven sessions. I missed the first one because I
• 26:06
  had to help my friend, changes oil.
• 26:09
  Hmm. And we actually, we actually
• 26:11
  made the first session in the last.
• 26:14
  I think eight minutes or so, but when we were pulling out
• 26:17
  somebody crashed, okay but they told told you the meeting, if
• 26:21
  you crash walk away from your bike, don't take your gloves off
• 26:23
  every helmet and the guy did all the above.
• 26:27
  So the sessions over, he took his gloves off to his helmet.
• 26:29
  Picked up his bike. He's like, dude, like what you
• 26:32
  do, not write it and what I was trying to get it, it's like do
• 26:35
  you get to to the point where you feel like you're on a track?
• 26:38
  I can work on the things I need to work on or are you on the
• 26:41
  track saying? Okay, I need to just learn to
• 26:44
  track and figure out how can we, you know, quick on the track,
• 26:47
  which kind of maybe make sense? Maybe say, you already, you
• 26:50
  don't need to necessarily work on things, you just gotta learn
• 26:52
  to track. So, I really use my skill to
• 26:56
  play on this track. So, like, leaning off the bike
• 26:59
  when I keep turning. Three left's.
• 27:01
  Make sure I stay off the seat on the right side and you know,
• 27:04
  like trying to find the Apex cone and that was working on
• 27:09
  those things and I always have problem with my my feet.
• 27:13
  Try to get my feet up right and you know, getting good drive.
• 27:18
  So I was actually practicing on, you know, techniques and stuff
• 27:21
  like that, right? And and and that's pretty good.
• 27:25
  While learning to track as well. You know, you like it because
• 27:31
  you're working on stuff but you also gotta learn to track.
• 27:33
  I mean, so the first go around like it was it like you know,
• 27:37
  three laps and you knew that you were comfortable or I'll say
• 27:40
  like by session four and five. I was like, I know I can do me.
• 27:45
  You're okay. No.
• 27:46
  Right right. Right.
• 27:47
  Like the first three that I did a first to kind of miss the
• 27:52
  first one, it was kind of like figuring out the track for my
• 27:55
  friend and in the bumps I'm just like owes because like there was
• 27:58
  a back straight Actually got a video of it but I was following
• 28:02
  behind this. This is 1000 and as I'm taking
• 28:07
  off this, these little dips or whatever.
• 28:10
  So, you know, you're leaning on the tank full out for of gear.
• 28:13
  You hit the dip. The wheel comes up.
• 28:15
  Oh yeah. Yeah.
• 28:16
  There's another one, you shift to fifth gear and it still comes
• 28:19
  up. Yeah.
• 28:20
  And this dude like riding the wheel, y'all look like 140 miles
• 28:24
  an hour and then comes down and I'm like holy shit.
• 28:29
  And after that got all that out the way right I started focusing
• 28:34
  on like getting faster and then find the right lines and
• 28:39
  indicate to the point where you know you have to worry about
• 28:42
  controlling the thing for real because you know, bar starts
• 28:45
  shaking a little bit. You know, you really do.
• 28:46
  You pushing? So for I was going to say that.
• 28:48
  Yeah. If you start to notice things
• 28:50
  like that, then you're getting comfortable your lap times and
• 28:53
  coming down. So now everything is coming a
• 28:55
  little bit faster. I was getting a gear higher on
• 28:57
  this back straight. All right, so I'm just like,
• 28:59
  okay. Okay.
• 29:00
  All right. You know I'm not gonna I'm not
• 29:04
  hearing is interesting because I've been, I don't know how how
• 29:06
  big that track is but you know, you I suspect not suspect, I
• 29:11
  know gear and will play a part in that but what I wanted to go
• 29:14
  back to Was, you know? you working on on the things you
• 29:22
  need to versus, you know, being out there and just trying to
• 29:26
  just just learn, just learn track because I think for a lot
• 29:30
  of people, you know, it took me like I was at pit for three days
• 29:41
  and like, I still need to go back to learn to track, you
• 29:44
  know, I think I feel comfortable with some pointers, but I didn't
• 29:48
  walk away feeling like, oh, Oh like I noticed thing, you know
• 29:51
  what I mean? And so it's like you know, and I
• 29:54
  sounds like and I've been to Pocono, so I can't really say,
• 29:56
  it's talk about it, like, I know it.
• 29:59
  So it seems like, you know, from going from Loudoun, going to
• 30:04
  Poconos it seems like you easy trans.
• 30:07
  Yeah. It is easy transition for sure
• 30:12
  and just being around PJ Jacobson Josh Herring.
• 30:18
  Uh-huh. A couple of those help motor
• 30:20
  America Riders. I mean they were on there, they
• 30:25
  were on different type of Ducatis.
• 30:26
  It wasn't on those sport Orange. Right?
• 30:29
  Right. Right.
• 30:29
  Right. Right.
• 30:30
  You also with the novice Riders and sometimes they came out with
• 30:34
  us but it was good to chat with them about the couple things and
• 30:38
  And get their opinion on some stuff.
• 30:41
  So actually I Josh hand, look at my tire, I was like, hey, this
• 30:44
  is Tyler look smoke to you. He's like he's showing the Rings
• 30:47
  yet. He's like, you're like, man.
• 30:49
  He's like, he's like, yeah. So he was like, oh yeah.
• 30:54
  I usually ride into, what he doesn't ride to the ring show,
• 30:57
  but, you know, he was like, as long as you don't get squirmy,
• 31:00
  and Corners, he's like, should be fine good.
• 31:02
  Right. So now him saying that does
• 31:06
  that, you know, because we've talked about ties in the Past
• 31:09
  and and I've said, like your I run these tires and until I'm no
• 31:13
  judge Hayes. But like until I get movement
• 31:18
  that I don't normally get so, does that give you confidence?
• 31:23
  Because I do remember last year or the end of last season.
• 31:26
  I remember you had a crash and felt like the ties were done
• 31:30
  now. Does that give you confidence to
• 31:32
  say? Okay, I'm going to keep the ties
• 31:33
  on until I get movement, or do you?
• 31:35
  Are you like, I'm just changing them after a certain amount of
• 31:38
  lat So now I feel like it's kind of combination of both because I
• 31:44
  want to keep my pace, so I rather feel safe than sorry.
• 31:49
  So I remember when I before I crashed, I remember I was just
• 31:53
  losing drive back. I was with always were drifting
• 31:56
  away on the street and I'm just like, what do I was like?
• 32:00
  Yeah, yeah. So like, you know, I want to
• 32:02
  keep, you know, fresh rubber to keep that driving but yeah, I
• 32:07
  feel way more comfortable. Now, now you stylist tires and
• 32:12
  give you credit to like you was like, oh man, you got plenty of
• 32:16
  life and I had to train myself. I managed the tire for these
• 32:21
  rounds. This is how many races I got.
• 32:22
  I can't, you know, smoke this tire even though like I don't
• 32:28
  really know how to like smoke a time right now because but you
• 32:32
  know, like I just just being more cautious about what I got
• 32:36
  on my rear. Yeah, it is Tricky because it's
• 32:39
  kind of you know it's all you'll hear some people say it's
• 32:44
  cheaper to change tires that the fix something on your bike
• 32:47
  because your tires were done and you did a oh shit moment, right?
• 32:50
  You know it it's always that. But it's also you know I when I
• 32:56
  when I listen to you know, the MotoGP riders in the world
• 32:59
  superbike Riders and they talk about how many laps they do on
• 33:02
  tires and then I and then I think about how many laps I do
• 33:06
  on tires. It's just like I'm not pushing
• 33:10
  as hard as they're pushing and I'm not doing the same amount of
• 33:13
  laps they're doing. So it is like I, yeah, I feel
• 33:18
  like I have more. I feel like I have more to give
• 33:21
  and and it's a fine line for sure.
• 33:23
  And everybody's going to be different.
• 33:25
  Everybody writing style is going to be different and all that
• 33:27
  stuff. I'm not saying and you know it
• 33:29
  that that is what it is but I find that there's something.
• 33:34
  You know I always hear writer that those guys also talked
• 33:37
  about how They manage the tires and if you never ride on a used
• 33:41
  tire, you never really learn how to manage it to Tire.
• 33:44
  You know, I'm saying? So it's kind of like it's just
• 33:47
  see my street bike tire right now is how you want to ride a
• 33:51
  just so bags that they people go be driving by, but I just feel
• 33:56
  so comfortable. I still have a little bit of
• 33:58
  Life laughs. Yeah.
• 33:59
  No. I'm not going to be, you know,
• 34:00
  being a fool on it. But, you know, just knowing how
• 34:03
  to manage the tire. I feel like that is something
• 34:05
  that I've got a lot more experience on.
• 34:08
  Yes, the tires. When you give you movement, you
• 34:10
  feel like I that's how much I can push in this corner.
• 34:13
  Exactly. Exactly.
• 34:14
  You know, I'm right and 0. Or it will you change your line
• 34:19
  or yeah. Exactly.
• 34:19
  You know, you just it forces you to adjust how your writing
• 34:24
  because you know for a long time if I wasn't if something on a
• 34:28
  bike for me wasn't comfortable, my hand is up, I'm coming in,
• 34:33
  you know what I mean? And and I'm learning how to ride
• 34:35
  around the problem and whether it's at, Tire or where there's
• 34:39
  something else going on with the bike is kind of like when you
• 34:43
  learn how to ride around the problem, at least you're not,
• 34:46
  you're not putting in, you know, you're not just, you know, you
• 34:49
  know. And obviously, if you change
• 34:51
  them tires, you're not just spending money, right?
• 34:53
  You know what I mean? So you know it is and again it
• 34:56
  is a fine line, I'm not, you know, I'm not sitting here
• 34:59
  saying go you know run your limits of your silk skill set to
• 35:03
  go, figure out your tires. But you know I think some people
• 35:08
  Will change at eyes sooner than they probably need to which
• 35:13
  again, you know, tires are one price.
• 35:15
  Yeah, exactly. Ties, the one price and, you
• 35:18
  know, you know, cost repair two bikes different kinds.
• 35:20
  I'm not telling you to change your approach, if that's what
• 35:23
  you're comfortable with it, at the end of the day.
• 35:25
  But you know, there's, you know, like I said, when you look at
• 35:28
  these pro riders, they do, they do more laps than I do.
• 35:33
  You know I'm saying? I'm not running the same tires.
• 35:35
  Obviously, as MotoGP over a Superbike when we Talking about,
• 35:38
  you know, Club racing and stuff like that, and motor America,
• 35:41
  and the Pirellis in the Mitchell, ins they have and
• 35:43
  stuff like that. We're kind of running, you know,
• 35:45
  similar tires and and you know, I there's something to be said
• 35:50
  about learning how to you know, run on tires.
• 35:52
  That's done, you know, 30 laps 40 laps and and you get some
• 35:56
  movement, you know, and stuff like that.
• 35:58
  And you don't have to learn how to deal with it.
• 36:00
  You know. Daytona 200 is a perfect
• 36:03
  example, they do like 50, plus laps, I think this one they did
• 36:06
  60's right. They do pit stops and they do
• 36:10
  change tires. But I remember the years passed,
• 36:13
  I think 2021 or 2022 if you had. I think it was Brandon Posh.
• 36:17
  I'm not hundred percent sure, but he did the whole race
• 36:20
  without changing tires. Okay?
• 36:22
  Tommy stop. There's get a drink of water and
• 36:23
  gasps gasps. Okay, they, he didn't need it,
• 36:26
  and I was just kind of shocked. Like, wow, you did that many
• 36:28
  laps in, and when I talked to Josh, I congratulate him on,
• 36:34
  winning the Daytona, 200. I'm just like, dude, how do you
• 36:37
  do that? How many laps in not get
• 36:39
  fatigued. He was like that track.
• 36:41
  You don't? It's not that demanding.
• 36:43
  Yeah, looks like it. Yes.
• 36:45
  And I just gave him that. I had a question mark in my
• 36:47
  head. I'm like, but yeah, I watched
• 36:48
  you pit. You even get a drink of water.
• 36:50
  Yeah, he's like. Yeah, no.
• 36:52
  I'm just, I need it. No, I listened like, what?
• 36:55
  When I get on the track and soon as I put my helmet on our blog.
• 36:58
  Alrighty water. Yeah.
• 36:59
  Well, you know and and you know, this is the thing about when,
• 37:02
  you know, Loudon is such a demanding track, right?
• 37:05
  That you, you do need to, you know, Vain and Daytona, you
• 37:11
  know. It is it doesn't have a lot of
• 37:14
  heartbreak in I've been today telling her probably four times,
• 37:19
  three times, give or take, it's not as demanding as Loudon for
• 37:22
  sure. It's not as demand in this pit,
• 37:25
  you know, pit. Yeah, Pig gave me a workout, you
• 37:29
  know? I mean like that that gave me a
• 37:30
  workout. I definitely was feeling it so
• 37:34
  that's that's the day is absolutely right and You know,
• 37:40
  when I think the more you ride, you find out you find places
• 37:44
  where you can rest, you know I'm saying.
• 37:46
  So, because this times when you can, you can rest on the bike
• 37:49
  for a little bit instead of being there all the time.
• 37:53
  And, and so, I, you know, I think once you also get
• 37:57
  comfortable in and finding the places where you can rest your
• 38:01
  you, you get less fatigued, but no, you know, turn one.
• 38:07
  Turn one maybe. The at Daytona, you know?
• 38:16
  There's not a lot of heavy break-in which is a, which is a
• 38:19
  beautiful thing, you know. And so it you're not going to be
• 38:25
  as tired and you got to have a lot of fun because you got to be
• 38:28
  flat out for for I don't know for sure but I feel like half
• 38:33
  the track your flat out so so if I give a comparison that's kind
• 38:37
  of how Poconos May sound like or be like, I haven't been to
• 38:40
  Daytona but it's really not demanding.
• 38:43
  Now, think about it, there's probably two corners or one that
• 38:48
  you have to break really hard, which is right corner.
• 38:52
  But other than that, everything was just regular breaking and
• 38:55
  everything is just smooth through corners.
• 38:56
  Yeah, no heartbreaking it. All right, like I mentioned that
• 39:01
  allowed, it turned three like there's a time where I felt like
• 39:04
  my rear came off came up like I'm on top rock.
• 39:07
  You know going in I'll turn through you.
• 39:09
  Yeah. Turn three will do that.
• 39:11
  And that's that's really heartbreaking.
• 39:13
  Right? Exactly.
• 39:14
  So no it's not the same thing so that I can see that and you know
• 39:20
  II and it differs at the different tracks.
• 39:23
  You go for the endurance races. I mean they're not it's not the
• 39:25
  Daytona 200 at other places. But you know, if you're in the,
• 39:29
  if you're doing indoor races at Azzurro or some of these other
• 39:34
  clubs that have endurance races, I motor markers not doing indoor
• 39:37
  races actually. Too, right?
• 39:39
  Yeah. Shabby shabby V I'm messing up.
• 39:44
  His last name, hee, hee, hee won like three where he won that.
• 39:48
  I think he wanted that and then he went to other races.
• 39:50
  All right? Yes, yes.
• 39:52
  Yes. I want to say HIV. 88 did not be
• 39:55
  88 but Forte I think his Forte. Yeah, you know, I mean so they
• 40:02
  start. They've been, I think it's like
• 40:04
  36 laps or something like that, so it's not a, it's not a
• 40:07
  Daytona, 200. It's not a azra Team Challenge
• 40:12
  or anything like that, which is, you know, the endurance race
• 40:15
  man. Listen, this is a whole
• 40:16
  different animal. Oh yeah, you know, you know what
• 40:19
  I mean? Because it's like a bee, right?
• 40:20
  Yeah, exactly, exactly, that's it.
• 40:22
  That's what it is. It's, it's 100.
• 40:25
  It's not as want one writer. Told me 99% mental said, you
• 40:30
  know, he said, you know, after a certain amount of laps, he
• 40:33
  couldn't even feel his hands. He wasn't even hitting the
• 40:35
  brakes any more talk too much. Self so much when I'm on the
• 40:39
  track. Like, I'm actually got a friend
• 40:41
  who asked me if I listen to music while I ride.
• 40:43
  I'm just like what? No, not, well, yeah, I do on the
• 40:46
  street, you're like on the track.
• 40:48
  I talk to myself. Right.
• 40:50
  Right. You know I will explain to
• 40:51
  people, you cannot put headphones and I'll Bluetooth
• 40:54
  devices in on the tractor race. It's just attracting.
• 40:58
  I think he said he was yeah probably on a track that you can
• 41:02
  I could do that but no, you know I shouldn't say I couldn't
• 41:06
  listen to music but I think For us at this point, you know it.
• 41:12
  I don't think we need it. Yeah I talk to myself very
• 41:14
  clear. Yeah.
• 41:16
  All right. Yeah I'll go go go, go go go go
• 41:28
  and that's all that's going on. Something you don't you don't
• 41:30
  need music and I'd be like, how many laps we got halfway mark?
• 41:35
  You know, it's funny, right? I don't even look at I don't
• 41:39
  even think about how many laps we go anymore.
• 41:40
  I just, you know, start straight.
• 41:42
  I just look at the flag when I see that halfway flag.
• 41:44
  Okay, when I see the White Flag, okay?
• 41:47
  I don't even cuz it's, you know, there's so much to this so much
• 41:51
  to think about and so much not to think about, right?
• 41:54
  Because because you really, you want to think as little as
• 41:57
  possible. But you want to be as focused as
• 41:58
  possible and to think if, to be to be wondering how many laps
• 42:01
  you have is a waste of time. That's what they're for is.
• 42:04
  Like, when you have for you there, you know, when you got
• 42:07
  one lap left, You know, that's what they're for because you
• 42:11
  don't have to think and don't like I used to try to think
• 42:14
  about how many laps I got left. I especially like the like the
• 42:17
  inventory, the indoor races at CCS like the GT use and the GTOs
• 42:23
  and stuff like that. I used to try to think but no,
• 42:25
  it's just, you know, lean on the folks that make you have to
• 42:33
  think less because the more, you think less, In the more you can
• 42:38
  be focused, the faster you're going to go.
• 42:42
  So when you have exactly listen man, when you when you're going
• 42:46
  fast, you having fun, do you like there's no, it's just
• 42:50
  don't, there's no doubt about it.
• 42:52
  So, okay, so you went to Poconos and then you came back and then
• 42:57
  what happened, then we're home, I got a call with the hey you
• 43:03
  want to come in New York, safety track, you like Yeah, I got that
• 43:09
  day off. Let's go.
• 43:11
  So yeah. I went to New York safety track
• 43:13
  for the first time which is my third track now.
• 43:16
  No. Huh.
• 43:17
  Oh God I remember them days. My third girl so this track.
• 43:24
  Yeah it's a lot more like I had to like really like watching
• 43:30
  myself. Like yeah I could you let go
• 43:33
  around here, right FastTrack. You got.
• 43:35
  Yeah. Okay.
• 43:36
  Okay. Jump over wheelie Hill and like,
• 43:40
  they just like a lot of off-camber turns and which I'm
• 43:45
  Caillou suppose, because of the bowl.
• 43:46
  Yeah, but there's like five or six turns out camber like that.
• 43:50
  And that's why I'm sad to talk to myself.
• 43:53
  Like alright, too much bar and put push the bike because I
• 43:57
  didn't want to lose the front of right.
• 43:59
  You know overall is a good time actually kind of like it and it
• 44:03
  kind of reminds me of Kota a little bit okay.
• 44:07
  Which That from watching not racing, right?
• 44:09
  Because all right, in the watching videos, doesn't do the
• 44:13
  track. But, uh, no.
• 44:14
  But you have you haven't ridden on Kota right?
• 44:16
  Yeah, right, yeah, right. And watch the MotoGP there so I
• 44:22
  know like the incline. Oh yeah.
• 44:24
  And I know all the Moto GP track system.
• 44:27
  Well, the very not, any of them, I didn't know, New York, safety
• 44:29
  track. I like incline into turn one
• 44:32
  that turned sharp down. Uh, it's pretty cool.
• 44:35
  So just fine like all Uphills and downhills and the way we
• 44:40
  held Johnson Creek, left's, and rights.
• 44:43
  And it was, it's a nice, nice track.
• 44:45
  Nice, nice. Nice.
• 44:46
  A run. It the other way to my ouchies,
• 44:49
  right, right, right. So, now your third track, you
• 44:55
  have a couple of years when you're only at Loudon and I was
• 44:58
  always say, oh you had to go to Other Drugs, those tracks now
• 45:01
  that you've gone to a couple of the tracks only once.
• 45:04
  So, you know, you have to go to gum a few times.
• 45:06
  I'm not expecting all that. But you know, what is your
• 45:11
  thought on it? You know, what would you tell
• 45:14
  people? That's only gone to one track
• 45:16
  and only go to one track, you know, like, you know, New York
• 45:22
  safety. Track was probably the hardest
• 45:24
  because I won't. Well as far as like traveling
• 45:27
  there with my friend he had a camper.
• 45:30
  It was very tight like reading get there certain time like
• 45:35
  camper wouldn't be in the spot we had and Timeout, is it?
• 45:41
  We had to ask people for korres because the generator cord
• 45:44
  switches too far. We had a long enough cable,
• 45:47
  right? So we had like borrow generator
• 45:50
  one of our friends that we came with but you know, oh listen.
• 45:54
  So like I don't I don't have any done that have a generator yet.
• 45:57
  I'm looking forward to getting one but it was needed at the
• 46:01
  track, right? Yeah.
• 46:02
  It's track need a generator which is different in Loudoun
• 46:05
  right differently. Laudanum sure.
• 46:07
  All right. You that Miss Farrow sort of the
• 46:10
  same. I mean, there was no Paddock
• 46:13
  though. So it was like mad.
• 46:16
  Yep. Be on your trailer.
• 46:17
  Yeah, yeah. So I know allowed and you can
• 46:20
  have fun outside in the, in the field.
• 46:23
  Go. Save yourself to the people in
• 46:24
  The Paddock. Yep.
• 46:25
  And, you know, I've said this time, yeah, I've said this
• 46:28
  before like, you know, we're spoiled at allowed in because
• 46:31
  you, we have amenities and I saw somebody posts something the
• 46:35
  other day on Facebook, which is a whole different thing.
• 46:37
  I'm I have an A, you know, small PSA, I have gripe with people
• 46:43
  who have problem with places and people and instead of reaching
• 46:47
  out to the people themselves that posted publicly and
• 46:50
  complain. But you know, I had some people
• 46:52
  complain. I saw someone complain that loud
• 46:55
  and and I, you know, I'm not into the public, you know, hey,
• 47:00
  whatever, whatever I'm not. I don't deal do with all of
• 47:03
  that. And but my thought was like,
• 47:05
  huh, you need to go to some other tracks.
• 47:08
  Because if you went to some other tracks louden's one of the
• 47:11
  best facilities in the in the east coast, I up and down the
• 47:14
  East Coast. You know, Daytona Homestead
• 47:18
  Loudon Jersey. Pit, you know, I haven't been to
• 47:23
  vir, so I can't speak, but I've been to Wes.
• 47:26
  I've been to West Virginia. I've been to South Carolina,
• 47:31
  North Carolina, Georgia. And let me tell you, like, you
• 47:36
  know, we're allowed for folks that are at Loudon very
• 47:40
  fortunate because it's a very beautiful facility and if not
• 47:44
  just go go to a couple other places and you'll see ya not to
• 47:48
  mention that. So the track day was On Tuesday
• 47:52
  and we were playing on showing up Monday night.
• 47:56
  So the gates closed at 10:00 if you enjoyed by 10, you ain't
• 48:00
  getting it right. Yo, listen.
• 48:02
  So like I didn't like, you know, loud and you can show up to in
• 48:05
  the morning, pull through the gate, right?
• 48:06
  There's always someone at the gate.
• 48:07
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 48:08
  Listen, I showed up at was, is like Nick with a locking Us in.
• 48:13
  We can't go to the store after this.
• 48:15
  Like, he's like, Dad Gates closed really leaving.
• 48:17
  I showed up at Jersey. And they wouldn't let us in
• 48:22
  before 6:30 in the morning or something like that and it was a
• 48:30
  jersey know if I'd have been pit.
• 48:32
  Am I doing pit? What?
• 48:33
  Like, yeah, you know, I say this like check the website.
• 48:37
  Reach out to the people figure out when you can get in because
• 48:40
  honestly I I drove finger and I can get in and and and and set
• 48:47
  up and if I knew I couldn't out of just stopped at a Stop and
• 48:51
  slept a lot longer. And so, yeah.
• 48:54
  You know that you, you know, every track is a little
• 48:56
  different when you can get in the times and stuff.
• 48:58
  So definitely check the times if not you're going to be at the
• 49:01
  gate asleep in your vehicle and I ran out of gas.
• 49:06
  My last session I have just I've been y'all is warm and we used
• 49:11
  it all, you know, for the generator and yeah, you know,
• 49:19
  the gas station evil, I guess. 20 minutes away.
• 49:22
  That's a 40 minute trip like yeah, it's all you.
• 49:25
  Okay, okay, yeah, yeah. If we decide to go get more gas
• 49:28
  to, you know, it's off-premise. Yeah.
• 49:31
  Yeah. That the go ahead.
• 49:33
  Yeah, it was just is this a lot that I feel privileged to be
• 49:37
  allowed in for? Yep.
• 49:38
  What they have and when I went to the Poconos, we actually got
• 49:42
  had space in the paddock. So it wasn't a problem.
• 49:45
  They had the power strips there where we could put a plug-in
• 49:48
  just like loud and so that was actually pretty.
• 49:50
  Any good? The atmosphere was there was
• 49:52
  just pretty much the same, everyone was friendly and Ducati
• 49:56
  event. The person that pulled up next
• 49:58
  to us. His name is Oscar, he has to
• 50:00
  Ducatis Rider coach. Hmm.
• 50:03
  So, the way we had my bike on Nick's truck on the bed and he
• 50:07
  had his on his trailer, but yes, when the big trucks always know
• 50:11
  how to help you and get my bike off without having this time
• 50:15
  off. So Oscar had like a ramp and he
• 50:17
  helped us and then he's like, he helped me get my do cardio.
• 50:20
  His had helped him get his right.
• 50:23
  Right. Right.
• 50:24
  Is it friendly atmosphere? Just like usual, this was the
• 50:29
  day event. So, you know, we just had to
• 50:31
  show up the time. The gates open actually has
• 50:33
  seven and Tech closes at 8:00. So we had to be there like how
• 50:37
  we set up at seven and go to Tech within an hour or so.
• 50:40
  We had to be ready for the time, period.
• 50:43
  No, you're always good. Yeah, you do have to be flexible
• 50:47
  and it's good to know the track rules ahead of time.
• 50:50
  But sometimes it still doesn't work out and, you know, you just
• 50:55
  have to be flexible because you're not going to win at any
• 50:59
  organ with the organization. You know what I mean?
• 51:02
  Like there's this, there's no winning so it's like it is what
• 51:05
  it is just be flexible and if you been racing long enough, you
• 51:09
  know, you have to be flexible, right?
• 51:11
  But you know, you definitely have to be flexible and you go
• 51:14
  into some tracks, especially for the first time because you're
• 51:16
  learning it. You're learning the ropes, you
• 51:18
  know? Like I'm going to, I'm going to
• 51:20
  Virginia and it's like, I'm driving all night because I want
• 51:25
  to get there early enough because if you don't get an
• 51:27
  early early enough, you don't get a good spot, you know what I
• 51:30
  mean? So I'm going to suck it up and
• 51:31
  drive so I can get there early enough to get a spot and then I
• 51:34
  can go to sleep, you know, other tracks.
• 51:37
  Where I know, I can get a spot. No big deal, right?
• 51:39
  So it is one of those things like, you know, if you're going
• 51:42
  to a new track, figure out the setup times figure out when you
• 51:46
  can get there. Like we've said, I think we said
• 51:48
  this on a few episodes to go. You know where people are not
• 51:52
  parking, chances are if it rains it's not a good look.
• 51:59
  So you know my time has been crazy but we haven't had enough
• 52:03
  time to. We don't have enough time to
• 52:04
  talk about that on this episode but I you know, I do want you to
• 52:09
  sum up, you know, you know what it's like, you know, going to
• 52:13
  Loudon race in a couple of season that Loudon wanted to
• 52:17
  visit, you know, new tracks and then having the opportunity to
• 52:20
  visit Axe. And, you know you know you may
• 52:24
  still be digesting it all cause you just got back just the other
• 52:26
  day from the third track. So but like you know what are
• 52:30
  your overall thoughts on on you know, just exploring more
• 52:35
  tracks. It's just like going on vacation
• 52:38
  to, you know, visit a tourist attraction.
• 52:41
  It's just like, it's just seeing what this track has to offer.
• 52:44
  You know what my bike and do here, right?
• 52:47
  And how much how excited I can be and it was just fun more.
• 52:50
  More or less traveling, just going through the experience at
• 52:52
  loading, the bike on low in the bike, talking to people about
• 52:55
  bikes and you know just get more luck knowledge on everything and
• 53:00
  for the things that we love and I love to do but the experience
• 53:04
  was amazing as long as you have everything prepared.
• 53:07
  Obviously this is there's always going to be something that you
• 53:09
  got to pull over for something that's gonna go wrong, nothing's
• 53:12
  ever perfect. But yeah, just fine.
• 53:16
  Getting my feet wet on. Another track is something I
• 53:19
  always wanted and looking forward to going to more and
• 53:22
  going back to the same ones. Again, just just continued
• 53:25
  repetition and and adding more to the resume.
• 53:29
  And, and what would you tell all listeners?
• 53:32
  Go to Jack's, go to new tracks. I mean, it is possible.
• 53:37
  I mean we are all broke. You were all broke, especially
• 53:42
  me and took me about three years, but Elizabeth found a way
• 53:46
  to get to another track and took me seven years.
• 53:50
  So there's a lot of people and I do as we're sitting in his
• 53:54
  child. So there's a lot of people that
• 53:59
  can that can come Helping Hand. As long as you return the favor,
• 54:03
  some way. So if you pass it forward as

• 55:53
  This whole bunch of gun rights basically dedicated to bikes.
• 55:55
  Now, whole weekend. Sorry, going to see ya and this
• 55:58
  the oldest road race series in the country.
• 56:01
  Yep. Motorcycle rally.
• 56:02
  So definitely come out. Have a good time for the folks
• 56:08
  that are scared at Loudon to race.
• 56:11
  Just get a 300 most of their bad.
• 56:14
  So at New York safety track, I'm just like, like why don't they
• 56:18
  classify the bikes? Like you know, I'm used to 400
• 56:22
  dry with 400 so like, you know, you know how we do it loud in.
• 56:25
  Yeah, Group 1 group, 2 group, 3, stuff like that.
• 56:28
  They're like, oh no, this is a fast-flowing track to 400.
• 56:32
  Still keep up with you in the 600.
• 56:34
  Not only time you'll pass them was on the street.
• 56:36
  Hmm. Oh yeah.
• 56:38
  I can see that like I can see that 100 way around me.
• 56:41
  Yeah I can see that. Oh and I was like what?
• 56:45
  I can see that but I will say this and I've said this before,
• 56:53
  I think if you're in the right group, with the right riders is
• 56:57
  a beautiful thing. I think if you're in the group
• 57:01
  and they're not Don't have the right riders around you.
• 57:03
  It can be a hot mess. Yeah.
• 57:05
  And and and it is it they've been do like, you know, track
• 57:10
  Day places. I've been doing this forever.
• 57:12
  I'm no expert. I'm not going to tell them how
• 57:13
  to do their things but I do. I do feel like for hundreds and
• 57:19
  lightweight RS6 60s V's fz-07, S, I think those two bikes
• 57:26
  should be on the track together and then 600 thousands to be on
• 57:29
  the track together. That's just my personal opinion.
• 57:32
  In of that because, you know, there's a big discrepancy and
• 57:35
  horsepower. And again, if you get the right
• 57:38
  skill sets together, it's not a big deal.
• 57:41
  Yeah, it's not a big deal, it's not a big deal.
• 57:43
  I was trying to his new track to me so I'm trying to like right?
• 57:46
  Yeah, exactly. When your new no, no sir.
• 57:48
  That's that's where it counts. Like if this is your, if you've
• 57:51
  been to this track a bunch of times and you're comfortable at
• 57:53
  this track that's one thing. If you're new and you're on a
• 57:56
  thousand or on a 600 and somebody's on a 400, or if you
• 58:00
  knew on a 400 somebody's The 600,000.
• 58:03
  Well, you're not going to be up to speed because you're learning
• 58:05
  the track. You know what I mean?
• 58:06
  So, and so, that's why I say like, you have to make sure you
• 58:10
  find the group that you're in that.
• 58:11
  If you need to learn the track, you're in that group and you're
• 58:14
  not worried about going fast and then if you know, the track that
• 58:17
  you want to be in the group that's going fast.
• 58:19
  But if they see you with, you know what, if if you're in the
• 58:24
  wrong group for whatever reason or if you just try and learn the
• 58:27
  track and and and people wisdom by you or whatever.
• 58:31
  Case may be it it's does. This is always an element of
• 58:36
  danger but there's a little bit more element of danger when
• 58:40
  because I'm not going to be going at my limits.
• 58:42
  If I'm trying to learn the track regardless of whatever by, come
• 58:45
  on, you know, I mean, until I get comfortable enough and so,
• 58:48
  you know. Yeah, I think they should be.
• 58:51
  And again, you can always bump down a group if they put you in
• 58:53
  one of the, one of the bigger, one of the more skillful groups,
• 58:58
  you can always go and say, hey no, I want to be in another
• 59:00
  group, but that's Still also tricky because if you're
• 59:03
  experienced writer but you just don't know the track and you
• 59:06
  would somebody who don't know the track and they're not
• 59:08
  experienced its, you know I'm saying?
• 59:11
  It brings up a whole lot, a lot of things.
• 59:13
  So like the bike didn't get in the way at all.
• 59:16
  Actually, so used to Eric would lean on me like and and turn 11.
• 59:21
  Yeah, so like when he's going around me I'm so I like it and I
• 59:24
  want to follow him, but being on tracks I'm like, I'm not usually
• 59:28
  practicing with 400, right, right.
• 59:30
  You know, It was just a question that I brought up and when he
• 59:33
  explained it, like it's trash fast-track the right about my
• 59:36
  okay, that's good. Yeah.
• 59:38
  And I brings up also, when I forgot her name, we talked while
• 59:42
  back, when she crashed, or made someone crash and he said
• 59:46
  something that this lady shouldn't be on the track.
• 59:48
  Well, without yeah, this was in World, Superbike Carrasco and
• 59:55
  and Batista no seriously, it can and and it and, you know, I
• 59:58
  think for the most part, you know, if Riders are paying
• 1:00:03
  attention and doing the right thing, it's a beautiful thing,
• 1:00:07
  right? Because you're holding your
• 1:00:09
  line, you're getting past their going to pass you and not affect
• 1:00:12
  your line. It's a beautiful thing.
• 1:00:13
  It only comes into play, when you got too nervous people to
• 1:00:17
  people who are not comfortable, I'm sure who, or what's he's
• 1:00:22
  going to do what? Exactly.
• 1:00:23
  That's when it becomes a problem.
• 1:00:24
  You just need one person to be not comfortable but if you have
• 1:00:27
  to that's not comfortable it you know I'm saying?
• 1:00:30
  That's a recipe for a little bit more excitement than one would
• 1:00:32
  want. Yeah, so yeah.
• 1:00:36
  So no doubt. So we who back?
• 1:00:40
  I hope we will be back before the classic but scheduling we
• 1:00:44
  don't know for sure but we'll definitely be back after
• 1:00:47
  Classic. If not on the classic update on
• 1:00:49
  your travels that you're about to take place.
• 1:00:52
  Yeah I mean you know I'm in West Virginia.
• 1:00:54
  This tomorrow I'm leaving early for West Virginia you know a
• 1:00:58
  quick rundown out I was in pit a few weeks ago, Dan Jersey for
• 1:01:02
  California Superbike. You know, it's it's been fun
• 1:01:06
  last five weeks, six weeks. I've been on the bike a lot
• 1:01:09
  which is which is a beautiful thing, you know, and I'm looking
• 1:01:13
  forward to be on a bike this weekend.
• 1:01:16
  You know, bike is always good, right?
• 1:01:18
  Have you been to this track? I ya know it.
• 1:01:21
  Listen II, you know some lies? Yeah, listen man, I'm like, I'm
• 1:01:26
  like, I'm not gonna say nothing, but, you know, the thing, some
• 1:01:30
  of the things I needed to sort out I've sorted out.
• 1:01:33
  And, you know, this would be the test.
• 1:01:36
  So you know, the next episode, either going to hear me say, are
• 1:01:41

• 1:01:43
  test. Again, you gotta look good.
